This "major" award is not. It is a fleeting honor. Also, the reference, as well as all the references, is simply a press release issued by Woodbridge Group and reprinted in trade mags that invariably reprint these sorts of things. Just because you've been put in print does not make you notable. A reprinted press release is not an author or journalist independently writing about you or your organization.

Delete. This is an investment bank. The better such a business does its job, the lower a public profile it will have; trade awards generally do not confer notability unless they're followed outside the trade. There is no evidence that this bank has any sort of historical, technical, or cultural significance of the kind that would make it an encyclopedia subject. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 20:58, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this is an investment bank, but I disagree with your rationale for deleting it. Other investment banks--- specifically smaller ones--- have wikipedia pages. I think the award might be a little overstated, but if Woodbridge group actually is the most active bank in CT that definitely means something especially considering the amount of financial services firms in the state. I dont see this page doing anything worse than other pages on investment banks, it simply adds to the amount of info on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.123.236.142 (talk) 14:29, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nothing to suggest notability. Award is trivial. Google search suggests this Woodbridge Group is less notable than a similarly named manufacturing company [1]. --MelanieN (talk) 20:23, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
